Independence Day in San Francisco






Spent 3 lovely weeks in the city by the bay -- called by the late journalist Herb Caen "Baghdad by the Bay." Really a nice cool respite from sizzling Arizona. It is a truly great place for walking, a bit hilly, compact and scenic and who would ever forget Bill Cosby's plea to St. Peter that "me and a Volkswagen drifted backward into the bay." "You go to Hell," was the reply. Note the $2.00 pints at Kennedy's Pub.
